Herbs and Allergies: Natural Herbal Remedies for Allergy Relief

Understanding Allergies and Their Impact on the Body

Allergies affect millions of people worldwide, and they can impact virtually every system in the body. From seasonal hay fever to chronic food sensitivities, allergic reactions can produce a wide variety of symptoms, including:

  • Respiratory symptoms: runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, asthma, sinusitis, rhinitis, and tonsillitis
  • Digestive issues: nausea, vomiting, cramps, bloating, colitis, flatulence, and constipation
  • Skin conditions: rashes, eczema, hives, psoriasis, and ulcers
  • Neurological and emotional effects: headaches, mood swings, learning disabilities, hyperactivity, even schizophrenia
  • Circulatory and metabolic issues: oedema, palpitations, hypoglycaemia, menstrual disorders, and weight gain

The root of allergic reactions often lies in systemic imbalance, especially in the immune system, digestion, and adrenal function.

What Causes Allergies?

While it may seem like foods, pollen, pet dander, or dust mites are the problem, they are actually triggers—not causes. Allergies are symptoms of a deeper imbalance in the body’s immune and detoxification systems.

Common underlying causes include:

  • Adrenal fatigue (from chronic stress, caffeine, alcohol, and drug use)
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Poor digestive function
  • Stress-related disorders
  • Toxic overload in the liver and lymphatic system

In many cases, one allergy eventually leads to multiple sensitivities, creating a hyper-allergic state where the body reacts to an increasing number of substances.

Why Allergy Testing Isn’t the Solution

Standard allergy tests often confirm what sufferers already suspect—reactions to dairy, gluten, dust, or citrus. But these tests don’t address the root cause of allergies or offer a path to recovery.

Avoiding more foods often leads to further nutrient deficiencies, compromising the immune system and digestive health even more.

What your body truly needs is rebuilding and resilience—not restriction.

Herbal Remedies for Allergy Support

The key to natural allergy relief lies in restoring balance across the body’s systems: immune, digestive, circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems. Herbal medicine offers a powerful and gentle solution by supporting the body’s own healing ability.

Best Herbs for Allergies and Immune Support:

  • Oregon Grape & Barberry – strengthen the liver and support gut immunity
  • Golden Seal & Plantain – soothe mucous membranes and improve detoxification
  • Bupleurum & Gentian – harmonise liver energy and assist digestion
  • Eyebright & Ammi Visnaga – reduce eye and respiratory irritation
  • Xanthium & Magnolia Flower – clear nasal passages and calm inflammation
  • Dandelion Root – supports liver detox and fluid balance
  • Ginkgo Biloba & Hawthorn – improve circulation and modulate immune responses
  • Sophora Root & Scutellaria Barbata – reduce allergic reactivity and histamine response

These herbs can be taken as tinctures, teas, or combined into a comprehensive allergy-supporting tonic. Always consult a professional herbalist to tailor a remedy specific to your needs.

Nutritional Support for Allergy Recovery

Alongside herbs, your body needs whole-food-based nutritional support to recover from allergic conditions.

Why Avoid Synthetic Vitamins and Pills

Most commercial supplements are made from isolated, synthetic compounds with additives like glazing agents, chalks, binders, and artificial colorants.

Instead, use ABC Daily Nutritional Herbal Powder Plus – a 100% natural, whole-herb formula containing organic powdered herbs to nourish and strengthen your body from the inside out.

Take 1 teaspoon twice a day, stirred into water, smoothies, or juice.
